A complaint of theft was reported at CR Park Police station on August 18. As per the complaint, gold and diamond jewellery of approx Rs4-5 million had been stolen from a woman's house. Later, a case under section 381 of IPC had been registered.

During the course of the investigation, the place of occurrence was thoroughly examined and a number of people and vendors/shopkeepers near the house were inspected. Police analysed the CCTV footage of the area around the property.

According to Delhi Police, neither the door/window of the house was broken nor any trespass of any suspect in the house was noticed before the incident. Police recorded the statement of the housemaid.
